... We'll be arriving London City Airport at 9 pm. What's the easiest option for transportation to the Marriott Hotel Regents Park on 128 King Henry's Rd? We probably don't want to deal with buses or lightrails or trains. How about a shuttle? What would taxi fare be for that distance? Have added uk.transport.london where there are at least two cab drivers who can give you an idea of the fare. Ian |

Don't know the taxi fare, but your options are basically public transport or taxi - I'm not aware of any US-style shuttles - it was tried but was a failure, probably because of London's traffic. Assuming you don't have lots of luggage I would abandon the "don't want to deal with buses, lightrails or trains", take the DLR to Canning Town then the Jubilee Line to Swiss Cottage which is the nearest Tube station (it's nowhere near Regent's Park station). It's not overly complicated (though it will require one change - just a quick walk downstairs) and it'll cost four quid each (or less with an Oyster card if you have one).

Have added uk.transport.london where there are at least two cab drivers who can give you an idea of the fare. The hotel's own site gives details including taxi fares. http://www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/fac...p-london-marri... That took a nanosecond of googling. The public transport journey is actually pretty easy - Docklands Light Railway service to Canning Town, Jubilee Line to Swiss Cottage and a shortish walk to the hotel. If you're laden with luggage then I can understand the reluctance but given the distance being covered, one change between lines is very convenient. There are escalators and lifts at LCA station and Canning Town but Swiss Cottage has steps out to the street from the ticket hall so a tad less convenient there. HTH -- Paul C Thanks everyone for the replies. Yes I have gone to the hotel's web site, just interested in second opinions. We'll have two mid sized suite cases. But due to the late hours and unfamiliarity, a taxi is preferred to light rail. |

You can get a London taxi directly outside the terminal at City Airport. Make sure that you are not 'touted' on your way out as you will not be insured in anything except a taxi. London taxis are unique in shape and are easy to distinguish. They are known as 'black taxis' although they come in different colours these days. There are some Mercedes Vito vehicles licensed as taxis; the main thing is to look for the licence plate at the back and the meter inside - no plate, no meter it's not a taxi. The fare will be on the meter. It will vary depending upon traffic conditions but after 9 p.m. there should not be too many delays. Expect to pay somewhere in the region of £40. Hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. -- Mike Hughes A Taxi driver licensed for London and Brighton at home in Tarring, West Sussex, England Interested in American trains real and model?

This site estimates the taxi fare at £40: http://www.worldtaximeter.com/london Although what they really want to do is have you pre-book what we call a "minicab", which probably isn't recommended for someone in your circumstances. -- Roland Perry |

It's not particularly late for London transport - everything will still be running to decent frequencies at that sort of time (it won't take you long to get out of London City Airport - you should easily manage plane seat to exit in 20 minutes, particularly if not checking luggage). And the journey is *really* easy - out of the airport, turn right, get tickets then up the escalator to the DLR, get off at Canning Town, walk downstairs (or use the escalator), take the Jubilee Line towards Stanmore, get off at Swiss Cottage. You might want to print a map off Google for the last bit but it isn't at all far. Neil |

I think the worst immigration queue I ever waited in at LCY was about 15 minutes. It's nothing on Heathrow, and as you state it won't be busy at that time of night. It doesn't appear from what I could see that the non-EU queue was much slower (I'm guessing from the way the OP's posting is written that they're from either the US or Canada). It's a premium business-traveller's airport (though often a surprisingly inexpensive choice!) and very well-run - the whole setup is all about passing through as quickly and conveniently as possible. To the OP - I hope you get an approach over central London - it is truly spectacular (if often a bit bumpy). Neil -- Neil Williams in Milton Keynes, UK To reply put my first name before the at. |

When I'm tired off such a journey, I tend to look for a nice logical public transport system rather than the potential to be ripped off by an unscrupulous[1] taxi driver who doesn't know where they're going[2]. The public transport journey noted is extremely simple, and I and others have given detailed descriptions of how to undertake it. [1] This potential is rather low in London compared with many countries, of course. But as a "foreigner" I wouldn't know that. [2] Again, not in London.

So possibly a bit more than 20 minutes if arriving from outside the UK and hits a queue for immigration? Things might have changed since I last used City airport (over a year ago) but about 99% of users seem to be EU citizens so they don't appear to bother with separate immigration lines. A few years ago I came back with a colleague who had US passport but the airline didn't hand out the landing cards for non-EU citizens as they generally do. It took City Airport a bit by surprise that anyone would need a landing card, but they found him one, it took him all of a minute to fill it in, and we were on our way. Out to the street within 10 minutes of landing, as is so often the case there. If only all airports were as efficient. -- Clive Page |

Yes, they were quite popular, I think. But rather out of my league in terms of price. By the time we went on the QE2 she was in her last years of sailings and prices were significantly lower! Not an especially luxurious vessel by modern standards but levels of service I've just never encountered elsewhere and a "real ship" as opposed to the floating gin palaces bobbing around the Caribbean pretending to be the Same Thing [TM]. I first travelled to the US on the old Queen Mary. Despite running into a hurricane and having water splashing on the uppermost windows, even sailing steerage (tourist) was amazingly luxurious to an ex-graduate student. This was despite sharing a cabin with three others and salt-water baths (you were provided with a large jug of fresh water for a final rinse down.) Even such baths had a touch of class with one's steward knocking on the door and saying "Sir, your bath is ready." I even managed a very mild shipboard "romance". -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

I'm surprised these flight times aren't a lot more common, and more popular. Even for the East Coast, you can't turn those planes round and arrive back before midnight (and the further away the USA hub is, the worst it gets). And if you keep the plane overnight in the UK and set off back at 7am the following morning, you won't get back until around 9am, which is quite late to turn round and come back to UK before midnight. So even if that did just work for Boston & NY (and UK rather than somewhere an hour further east), you'd have a very restricted choice of takeoff times, trying to compress too many flights together (remember, there's around 20 a day just London-NY). I've only managed to use them a few times, but each time I've had virtually no jet-lag, whereas I usually suffer for several days. I put it down to the fact that after a whole day travelling you get home, crash straight into bed, and sleep soundly. Jetlag affects different people in different ways. The usual problem flying east is that because you typically set off in the afternoon, it's tempting to stay awake into the 'evening'. Whereas you really need to set a watch to midnight (as it will be roughly, at the destination) and go straight to sleep. -- Roland Perry |
